Linda Ellerbee is possibly the smartest, slyest, news journalist television has ever produced. Speaking with a strong Texas twang abetted by a wry, salty edge and just enough rasp you can imagine her singing Jazz in a cocktail lounge, Ellerbee’s superior storytelling, forthright delivery and wicked smarts made for riveting television on such landmark shows as Overnight and Nick News. Her fearless honesty and knowing insight into how to navigate daily life with logic and just enough humor to pull you though insured that her books, like the can‘t-put-down And So It Goes, would be best sellers. In no time, you realize you can trust her about everything, plus you wish you could meet her for coffee
Ellerbee is retired now and that’s the media’s loss. However, we’ve been great friends for 40 years, and that’s my gain, so I want to share my good fortune with you Just listen to Linda’s illuminating attitudes concerning retirement, health, news, family, fun, joy, giving back, and best of all, why she doesn’t believing in wasting time because none of us know how much more of it we’ve got left. Prepare to be fascinated. Linda Ellerbee is this week’s guest on The Happy Grownup podcast.
